•Expansion of Park Property to include the old Lindquist Property that the City recently acquired. The property was once a retail business that was destroyed by fire. The City purchased the property and now includes it in the Park inventory. It is adjacent to the existing park and would help beautify Main Street and provide for more additional recreation opportunities.

•Develop the recently acquired property into a Skate Park. The proposal is to develop a concrete skate area 65' x 130'. Ramps or concrete bowl designs are being considered. Estimated cost of the skate park is $37,000. Fencing will be donated.

•Provide lighting to this parcel for safety and security. Estimated cost of providing lighting is $1,000.

•Develop the other half of the old Lindquist parcel as a grass area with Volley Ball net, steel picnic table and a wooden train play structure. Estimated costs are $500, $500 and $500 respectively.

•For pedestrian safety, a user activated pedestrian crossing signal will need to be installed. Estimated costs $3,500 each, or $7,000 total.

•The Swimming Pool side of the Downtown Park will be developed with a complete Playground jungle gym/slide/swing set. A rubber mat, approximately 40' x 30' will need to be purchased. This community project is being lead by the Kettle Falls Lady Lions with donations and fund raising to match City & Grant dollars. The old swing set will be relocated. Approximate cost for Playground Set and rubber mat will be $20,000.

•A Wading/Spray pool is proposed for this property as a community project of the Kettle Falls Rotary Club to match City & grant funds. The Water Park will include several features that younger children will enjoy. Several manufacturers have been contacted and the estimated price will be $50,000.

•The Swimming Pool area has an existing pool house complete with restrooms. However, there is a clear need for a first aid station. It is proposed to build an 8' x 10' concrete structure attached to the existing facility to be used as a First Aid Station.

•With all the activities of the proposed Water Park, it will be necessary to build an 8' x 150' concrete sidewalk to avoid turning the park grassy areas into a muddy path. Estimated costs to be approximately $7,000.

•It is desired to provide 2 additional steel picnic tables to the park for parents to sit and watch their children play on the proposed playground equipment and water park features. Estimated costs @ $500 each to be $1,000 or $1,500 for total project.

•Once the Water Park is being constructed, it may be necessary to move an existing light pole to a more convenient location for safety and security. Total project lighting costs will be approximately $1,000.

•Additional landscaping may be necessary to help beautify the park. This can be completed with donated materials and labor by youth and/or civic organizations.

•Additional improvements include conversion of the chlorination system from the existing gas chlorine system to a liquid chlorine system. This is a high priority because of safety and liability concerns expressed by the Washington State Department of Health, Tri-County Health District, and the City’s insurance provider. Design of the proposed Water Park may resolve this need and a central chlorination system be constructed. The cost of the conversion and the storage shed to contain is estimated to be between $1,500 and $2,000 and will completed in 2004. There is also strong community support for covering or enclosing the swimming pool to allow year-round use.
